Tomato Kurma Recipe –Thakkali Kurma For Idli Dosa

I learnt this recipe from my apartment neighbor aunty. She make this tomato kurma (She calls this as Thakkali sambar in Tamil) as a side dish for idli, dosa and Idiyappam very often. The awesome aroma of this gravy that wafts through my apartment made me ask the recipe from her and tried it immediately. It was a lovely combo for idli & dosa. I am sure it goes well with chapati/Roti and Appam if its made slightly thick but not with rice. In Tamil, we used to call mildly spiced gravies as Kuruma Kulambu. This is one of its kind. It tastes like kurma but looks like Kuzhambu/Sambar/Gravy in consistency.Do not forget to smell your hands after eating ;)) If you are looking for tomato kuzhambu recipe without coconut for rice , please check it HERE. Now Lets see how to do Tomato kurma for idli dosa.
